Bantam, Connecticut. Here are three newcomers to Bantam, in the Warren McArthur upholstery shop. Closest to the camera is Demetress Welch, who came with the plant from Rome, New York, in 1937. In 1940 she married Ray Welch, of Waterbury, who is now working in a sub-assembly shop at the plant. Behind her is Irene Stewart, who came to the plant from Buffalo in June 1941, along with her husband of five years, Malcolm Stewart. Malcolm is a native of London, England, and once owned his own furniture plant in Pittsburgh. The Stewarts moved into a four-room unit of the defense homes project in January, leaving a furnished room in a Bantam farmhouse. Third worker is Alice Langevin, who came to the plant in April, 1941, from Plainfield, Connecticut. She lives in Bantam, in a five-room house which she shares with her brother and sister-in-law and two nephews--all of whom came to Bantam since April, 1941, to work for Warren McArthur
